The CBSO presents a performance of The Firebird with a difference, as broadcaster Stephen Johnson gives a guided tour of Stravinsky’s famous score. Discover how the composer creates his astonishing sounds, hear how the music works, and learn the story of how Stravinsky only got the gig because his teacher Liadov was too lazy! – all illustrated with live music from Andris Nelsons and the full CBSO. Then, after the interval, enjoy a complete performance of The Firebird. A real eye (and ear) opener – perfect for aficionado and novice alike.
